I can't believe there's still anyone who believes it wasn't Barker.


Except perhaps Barker himself...

Where do you differ from the norm?

The host didn't help.
Honestly, for me anyhow, the host didn't matter. You could have reanimated Bill Cullen and it still would have blown. The format of we're-gonna-play-X-puzzles-high-score-wins was just uninteresting and the bonus game was totally uninspired.

Which is not to say that the Shoot For The Stars format was perfect - certainly the random elements don't help from a game-fairness standpoint, but at least it's more engaging to watch than Double Talk.

For the record, you wouldn't have needed to.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Agreed.  What I meant to say is that the host wouldn't have helped any show.
